One Strike & You're Out


Reverberations are being heard around the tennis world now that World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has been sensationally disqualified from the US Open for 'accidentally' hitting a lineswoman with a stray ball. Well Djokovic has run it close several times; a few loud verbals here & there; a few proper smashes of the racket; a few looks of condescension at the referee. Well it seems the bung has finally dropped with him.

What can be said is that the stress has probably finally caught up with him... even though he looked to have it all sorted. Whether it was the ill-fated Adria Tour; the shocking decision to resign and form the much-derided PTPA; or the constant online battles with tormentor-in-chief Nick Kyrgios; it seems something has finally snapped. And shockingly; he has been eliminated from probably the 'easiest Grand Slam' to win ever to add to his 17. What we will see though; is a first-ever winner at the Grand Slam.
